I'm a little ashamed to admit this now, but, cruising around in the black Caprice Classic drinking CoonDog Punch out of a beer tap system I built out of stolen parts from Dow, a gallon pickle jar and a windshield washer pump. Most of it was in the trunk but the tap was conveniently mounted on the dash of the car and served up tasty beverages every Friday and Saturday night to four idiots. It was a nice compliment to other activities going on inside the car, too.

See Gaspard's profile for more on this...

I'll deny all of this, of course, if questioned.

Did you have a nickname in high school?

DJ

What did you do right after high school?

Enrolled in Brazosport JC and worked with Drake at OCD II for a short time. Me, Drake and Wally terrorized the community on our motorcycles like crazed morons that summer. Wally taught me how to do a wheelie on a street bike - not easy. Man, he could ride. Wally, Gaspard, Drake and I then became Jack Reid's delivery and install crew. We were also in charge of an unofficial herb testing program every time we got in one of the delivery vehicles. Then I moved to San Marcos to go to SWT. Wally and I were roommates and Gaspard and Scott Morris lived right down the hall. What an amazing time. Incredible stories and memories. Animal House was a party 7 nights a week. Many, many laws broken.

Where else have you lived?

Austin
Dallas
Houston
San Marcos
Philadelphia

What did you always want to do that you haven’t done yet?

1 - Pay Gaspard back for the body damage on his VW because CrackerJack Hamilton and I stole an empty keg from a frat party and tried to force it in his trunk but we were too, um, over-served to realize it was too big. We had plans to build a lamp or something that seemed genius at the moment. We finally gave up but the damage was done.

2 - Thank El Rod for continually taking the risk of the river house parties. How he kept pulling those off are still a mystery.

What do you like to do in your spare time?

Daughters Activities - I'm a single dad and really have my hands full so 95% of my non-working time is spent with my daughters. They all live with me and we're very close. They're into all kinds of things

Ride motorcycles - I have a couple of Harleys that I run around on from time to time. I go to the big rally in Sturgis every year, 2014 was my 9th year in a row.
